    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    Re: the MFLB. It's like riding a horse as opposed to a carriage, or even an automobile. That said, a horse doesn't require much, if you can hold the reins and keep it from bolting, and it's a very simple and compact vape. I have one, don't use it much. I would not replace any vape with another...

    Thanks, guys! @JSteez4205 I was joking about taking the e-nail into the red. People are trying to replicate the nail effect, i.e. instant boil-off with no time for burning, but using small coils and batteries that can't keep up, and end up losing temp but then burning the substance where the...

    Arizer Solo

    I see your statements but as an engineer I don't see what these factors improve. Good and not weak thermal conductivity helps uniform heating without localized hot/cold spots. Large surface area, not low, helps spread then quickly vaporize the oils. I don't follow why you imply this material is...

    @OF you've been doing this for a while, and your head is intact, and I appreciate that. Can you explain why you think the specific Konstruktion of the SS pad that the Volcano Volk sell is superior to a random fine Stainless Steel wool, or any number of home-made topologies e.g. SS Wool with the...

    Maybe just oil on the herb will taste best. Cotton starts to brown and anything else has a taste too. At least the herb is a taste we all know & love. @Dr. Soxhlet that's a righteous conversion. I guess it's good glass in that "aromatherapy cup" ;-)

    Wow. There is some very very fine glass on Aqualab if you can spare a coupla grand for a bubbler. On the Nuggetry site, how do you bid/interact?

    I don't think a water system adds anything, it just cools it (niiiiice!) and loses a small percentage (who cares). For now the important thing is raise the temp. 7 is the hottest. 2 is the rectal temperature of a sleeping badger. Go 7!

    It all sounds fine. So do you get vapor? If you're used to combustion, maybe run it all the way on 7 for openers. That'll give you a more complete high, all the terpenes and stuff. Between 4 and 6 will be better once you're adjusted, a brighter effect, not as stoned. I like 3-4.

    Wow. That's a new one. Is it charged? Are the LEDs coming on? Is this a recent vintage Cannabis? What part of the plant? What are you accustomed to? Can you describe how you load up what stem, and how you vape? FWIW I'm a chronic 95%VG+Flavoring+Nic vaper, I have a callus on my thumb where I...

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    ... and the same goes for the Solo. A different vape, complements the other(s). Oh, dear. Hope I don't get bored of the Substance Under Test, as all the accessories are so much FUN! ... and the FireFly with a little pad of SS or Brass wool makes a good oil/wax rig. Very TASTY. I find the Solo...

    @JSteez4205 Dude! What a collection, especially if this is just what you recently picked up! Please tell us more about that Itza electric vape (as opposed to electronic, if you get my drift. Different union.). Turn that puppy inside out, i.e. slip that coil in a wider tube, crank it up, and you...

    I just found that my generic FireFuck Chinese wonder charger has a 3.2v setting as well as 3.7v. At that setting it charges my IMR 18650s to 3.88v. That's lovely in that it requires no manual intervention. What do you think, @OF ? [edit] but I'm finding that batteries that are sagging, and that...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    What, pray tell, was the "branding" - he asked, eyeing the 6 newly purchased 2000 mAh Efest IMR18650 cells on his desk ... I just discovered that my FireFart Chinese charger has a 3.2 v setting (as well). And that setting charges to about 3.88 volts, which supposedly would be a FAR better way...

    Discontinued The Firefly Vaporizer

    @Trifectic and others. Truth be told, though we grin and manage, the FireFly is a tad underpowered. But it has its rewards. What this translates to is that it requires technique for one. If you let it warm up, and not get impatient, you can squeeze pretty much all the juices you want out of da...

    Right. So, dial in a 6 and wait. Then draw hard and long. Is it still lighting the 6 LED? In the end even with a thermostat it's interactive ... I don't understand why the exact EASE of draw should matter.

    Isn't the Solo like others in that you simply control temp and airflow by sucking more or less? @Dr. Soxhlet, what's this aromatherapy bowl conversion? I just got confirmation from Larry Mann at Lustresheen in Auburn Maine that all the Brass Wool is Lead Free. They also package Stainless...

    Arizer Solo

    Thanks for the battery references @OF. Are you saying the damage occurs from reaching 4.2 volts or from being shelved at 4.2 volts? In other words pulling some of the charge can or cannot undo damage? but staying at 4.2 does further damage? The Solo is a special case with that double battery...

    GAS! Mahogany neck and body, triple binding, ebony fingerboard, Abalone, hand filed medium jumbo frets. Made in Korea. Flawless finish. Damned good action under 1 mm, substantially tweaked. Each Humbucker has modified wiring on Push-Pull pots so it can be set to Coil A, Coil B, Coil A + B...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    I don't know for sure, but suspect that a decent wax/shatter/oil can vaporize with practically no residue. Then what we're seeing gunk up the wicks is probably burned material. That would explain the degrading taste etc. So (tanks and ejmix'ed oils aside) I doubt the wick is much help except to...

    FWIW my replacement stem arrived in 2 days. Patrick at easyvape has been helpful and friendly. @OF can you explain how you manage with batteries, since chargers have to be baby-sitted to unplug a little early. If you do let it ride to full charge, what is happening in the battery, is the...
